<a name="GtkMisc.description"></a><h2>Description</h2>
<p>The <a class="link" href="GtkMisc.html" title="GtkMisc"><span class="type">GtkMisc</span></a> widget is an abstract widget which is not useful itself, but
is used to derive subclasses which have alignment and padding attributes.</p>
<p>The horizontal and vertical padding attributes allows extra space to be
added around the widget.</p>
<p>The horizontal and vertical alignment attributes enable the widget to be
positioned within its allocated area. Note that if the widget is added to
a container in such a way that it expands automatically to fill its
allocated area, the alignment settings will not alter the widget's position.</p>
<p>Note that the desired effect can in most cases be achieved by using the
<a class="link" href="GtkWidget.html#GtkWidget--halign" title="The “halign” property"><span class="type">“halign”</span></a>, <a class="link" href="GtkWidget.html#GtkWidget--valign" title="The “valign” property"><span class="type">“valign”</span></a> and <a class="link" href="GtkWidget.html#GtkWidget--margin" title="The “margin” property"><span class="type">“margin”</span></a> properties
on the child widget, so GtkMisc should not be used in new code. To reflect
this fact, all <a class="link" href="GtkMisc.html" title="GtkMisc"><span class="type">GtkMisc</span></a> API has been deprecated.</p>
